Lyonbiopole supports its members’ development on all corporate issues. An annual agenda of around a hundred events and training courses is proposed, covering a maximum number of subjects.

Clearly defining a strategy is a central issue for innovative health companies which have particularly high financial requirements.
The individualised first-level support offered by Lyonbiopole enables companies that wish to do so to review their development and financing strategy. In parallel, Lyonbiopole proposes a range of actions to support members seeking financial partners.
This programme, which is in the “proof of concept” phase, allows the selected companies to benefit from personalised support so that they can pass through key stages of their development in a reduced time-frame (12 to 24 months).
The support team is made up of 10 coaches, all of whom are managers or former managers of Healthtech companies, including a dedicated coach for each company and members of the Lyonbiopole team. The programme involves different steps.
